Kev was able to leave the Hospital yesterday, BUT we have to return everyday through the weekend for small bouts of chemo, blood work, and neupogen shots (to increase the white count). In this whole process the one thing that Kev dreads the most are the trips back to GMC (hour 15, round trip) for a simple shot. The car rides in the past have made him quite ill, which lead to being readmitted. To counteract this, we will be staying at the 'House of Care' on the Geisinger grounds for a small donation. Not entirely sure what this means, but at least we will be closer should any complications occur.
Kev is actually looking pretty good at the moment, but his counts are dropping fast! He prefers to be at GMC when is counts are low because even the simplest of tasks prove difficult. They encourage home time, which is good, but they haven't quite grasped Kev's urge to get it over with.
His appetite is still average, but the throat thing is back full throttle. The results showed signs of stuff, but it can be managed through 'over the counter' medicine. Tomorrow we have our standing appointment at the Knapper clinic at 10:30 in the a.m. then it's off to a weekend full of fun at the House of Care. Lets hope our accommodations include 55in, LCD TV's, soft leather couches, beer, and strippers!

Hey Kevin,
Love all the updates, thanks to BJ and all for staying with these....it really helps keep us in the loop. Cant wait to roll your way around Dec 10-11 and lay a big hug your way. You know I love you bro..(in a totally non-sexual man-crush kind of way) and cannot wait for you to be back in the saddle down under with me. Out for now....stay strong.
